Over and over again we hear the Islamic people testify in the United States that the jihad is not something they support. It is a different mindset than that which is taught by their beloved Muslim text. I long to believe them because I too understand those which deviate from the truth of the teachings of Christ.
Yet again we see a enormous amount of people committed to tradition and ritual and not dedicated to the care and well being of your fellow man. I cannot begin to grasp this mob mentality even after being apart of mobs myself. What posesses you to get to a destination in such a way that you dare not look at the path on which you trod, lest you be held back? What comes over an individual that removes all sense of awareness of their surroundings to a point where they could walk/run over another human being because of their goal? How tragic! How amazing!
Hajj trampling
God calls us to focus totally upon Him as we strive towards the goal and attain the prize at the end of the race. However, He also calls us to run so that we demonstrate to others what we are running for. If we show each other our commitment to the prize may cost them their opportunity to receive the same prize, are we showing them the compassionate love of Christ? Run/Train so that you may not only point your brother in the proper direction, but that you may run/train along side them. When they cry out for help, HELP! Pick them up and get them back on their feet and run.
